  • E81 Aruna Roy Mixdown
    Brown University Watson Institute | E81_Aruna Roy_mixdown [MUSIC PLAYING] SARAH BALDWIN:From the Watson Institute at Brown University, this is Trending Globally. I'm Sarah Baldwin. Aruna Roy is one of India's most prominent activists. In 1968, she became a civil servant in the Indian Administration Service. But in 1975, she left her role in government and started working directly with poor and marginalized communities. Because as she sees it, social justice work isn't driven by government officials. ARUNA ROY: The real change starts with the specifics. One has to get absolutely to the root of an issue. And it is from there the real change occurs. SARAH BALDWIN:In 1987, Roy and two other activists founded MKSS, the Association for the Empowerment of Laborers and Farmers. They've fought for everything from the right to work, to food security, to government transparency. Roy is currently a fellow at the Watson Institute. Her new book, Power to the People-- The Right To Information Story, looks at how this fight for government transparency in India grew from a movement into a law. We started by talking about her time in India's civil service, before she began her work as an activist. ARUNA ROY: I was trained for two years. It's very rigorous training. And you're taught what I call, government management. Business management is about how to run a business and make profit. The civil service teaches you-- the training in civil service-- makes you managers. Management of welfare state, of delivering services to the poor, ensuring that constitutional values are realized.
